Travel Vaccinations and advice

Patients need to book in our travel clinics at least 2 months before travel.

This is because we may have to order vaccines in or tell patients to go elsewhere to get certain vaccines that the NHS don’t provide.

We can only provide NHS vaccinations, so if you require vaccinations that the NHS don’t provide you will have to go to a private travel clinic to get them.

When a patient calls they will be asked for date of travel – destination – length of stay – type of accommodation and booked a telephone call with a nurse.

The nurse will call the patient, provide travel advice and advise them on what vaccinations, if any will be required, they will book them an appointment if NHS vaccinations are required.

Travel Risk Assessment

If you are travelling abroad please complete our Travel Risk Assessment Form in plenty of time (We recommend 8 weeks) before your journey.

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.
